Protective rubber flaps to stop flying debris and direct it back to the windrow. The side scrapers are long, adjustable and shaped to be of maximum efficiency in moving the excess on the sides back into the windrow. Square tubing is used for structural reinforcement and strength. Prevents the turner from twisting or going sideways in a heavy windrow. The tubing also ensures the longevity of the machine as it holds everything together and in place. Protects the roof from caving and the machine from buckling. Design has incorporated a double spiral of the drum knives to ensure balancing even under very adverse conditions such as an extremely dense, large windrow. Extended knife holders 2 inches longer provide extra holding strength Drum knives made of hardened steel are 2" shorter and reversible. Turning the knives at ¾" ensures longer performance and that the windrow remains clean right down to the ground, no possibility of a smelly anaerobic layer forming. Superior to all other windrows in that the designers have listened carefully to leading Soil Foodweb Soil microbiologists and understood why the "flicking" motion and full aeration RIGHT DOWN TO THE BASELINE of the compost pile takes place The gearboxes are also protected and are part of the machine, not a separate large box. The drum has been tested in a live situation where rice was thrown into the windrow, after one turn, samples were taken from various parts of the windrow and placed onto a clean surface. It was immediately evident that the mixing was very thorough with even distribution throughout the windrow. Laboratory tests of compost produced using the turners show the most life-forms - the full ecosystem of the Soil Foodweb. The smaller machines (model 1800 and model 2700) can be towed on most roads so it is not necessary to lift them. The fleece roller makes using the fleece cover a simple operation. The fleece is picked up by the roller, as the drum turns the compost and then gently dropped to cover the windrow. The fleece covers help to control the compost cycle and enhance the quality of the compost. They are beneficial in wet and hot, dry climates. In wet climates or rainy seasons, the covers keep the excess moisture out of the windrow and in hot, dry climates/seasons they keep the moisture required in the windrow and protect the microbes from the hot sun. Optional watering systems inject water, innoculants or liquid slurry into the windrow. The systems may be hooked up with an optional tow bar, which pulls a water wagon or may be connected with an extended hose to a reservoir. 1 year Manufacurers’ Warranty Our manufacturer been manufacturing and designing farm machinery for over 30 years.
